One Sentence Summary:
In the caste system of India there is a level of "untouchables" this is the story of one of them.
Review:
It should have been a very boring story, a day in the life of one of the lowest caste members in Colonial India. Instead it was absolutely fascinating, the story was written in such a way that once you start reading you can not put it down. The content disgusted me and made me question how humanity can be so cruel. The story also looks at three very different perspectives on how to correct such a corrupt class system. That said I recommend everyone read it, it is a real eye opener.
